Spain, Italy and Belgium in international for victory


La Roja travel to Amsterdam for a friendly with the Netherlands, the Azzurri host England in Turin and the Red Devils are on the road to Israel, who were recently thrashed at home to Wales, for a Euro 2016 qualifier.
All three top FIFA-ranked teams featured in this treble are either odds-on or short-price favourites for victory, and here are more reasons why you should back this ?
Netherlands v SpainSpain face the nation whose hopes they dashed at the 2010 World Cup final, as an Andres Iniesta goal saw the Dutch off 1-0 that day to earn his side glory. La Roja are 6/4 favourites for victory again, and 9/1 to do so by that scoreline.
Juventus striker Alvaro Morata netted last time out for his country against Ukraine, and is 7/4 to strike again anytime. The likes of Premier League stars David Silva, Cesc Fabregas and Santi Cazorla could also feature, and are respective 2/1, 10/3 and 7/2 chances in the same market.
Italy v EnglandThe Azzurri are also up against a team whose hopes were dashed at a World Cup, the most recent one in Brazil, and they beat the Three Lions 2-1 in the group stages. They are 11/8 favourites to win again, and 9/1 to do so by that scoreline once more.
Mario Balotelli got the winner that day, but has been replaced in the squad by in-form Southampton striker Graziano Pelle, who is 5/4 to net anytime. Other players Roy Hodgson’s side will need to look out for are Ciro Immobile and Brazilian-born Eder, who are 5/4 and 7/4 respectively.

Israel v BelgiumIsrael host Belgium, who are ranked fourth in the world rankings following their rise in the international game thanks to their current crop of Golden Generation stars. The Red Devils just thrashed Cyprus 5-0 in another Euro 2016 qualifier, and are odds-on favourites at 8/15 to win in Jerusalem too.

Southampton v Arsenal: Gunners set for a night of frustration

Southampton v Arsenal Wednesday, 19:45 Southampton  Claude Puel has done a decent job at Southampton this season, but his future at the club could rest on how well his team performs in their last four games of the season. The Saints can finish as high as eighth or as low as 16th. A bottom-half finish could be enough to seal the fate of the former Nice manager, with rumours suggesting that the club hierarchy are considering his future. It's true that Southampton's Premier League campaign has been rather underwhelming, with the side struggling to find any consistency this season, yet Puel did guide them to the EFL Cup final. He's inherited a weaker squad than previous managers enjoyed, which has lacked firepower for much of the season. Charlie Austin could return against Arsenal to help to solve that problem, while the defender Matt Targett is another player in contention. Virgil can Dijk remains out. Arsenal The Gunners gave themselves hope o...
